I'm thinking about buying a Sapphire 3gb Dual X R9 280x. I was wondering if it's better to spend the extra money and go with the 770 or get the 280x?


This is my PSU http://www.rosewill.com/products/390/productDetail.htm it's pretty old, just want to make sure it will be able to handle a 280x/770.


I'm leaning towards a 280x as it's cheaper and seems to be about the same. I'm just worried about drivers with AMD products. Are the drivers any better? I haven't owned a AMD product since having two 5770 and the drivers were terrible.

I have a GTX 570 now and just want to upgrade it for The Witcher 3 and Battlefront. I'm looking for a more future proof card. I won't buy another for a few years.

Better go for GTX 970 4GB VRAM
